    The (Prone) Paddleboard Thread

    I trained with a guy last season that had one (not a surftech). They look super fast. They cut through water like an unlimited. I imagine they dont handle ocean bump quite as well as the commanders.

    Tim Stamps - Shaper of the Year

    Ive finally ridden my 5'11 Stamps Rerun (swallow tail) enough times to give a quick review. The foam distribution is interesting. The rails are pretty full all the way towards the front with a pretty flat deck. I didnt really like it at first when I was using AM2s. I had a hard time sinking the...

    Moving San Diego

    You could check out Clairemont surf shop too. I believe they still have a demo fleet where you can apply the demo cost to a board purchase.

    Keel vs Quad

    Yep the drive is pretty ridiculous and addicting. The board is still pretty loose. It can do snaps, but if you arent flowing with the flex of the keels it can be a little weird up into the lip.

    Keel vs Quad

    Why not both? I love this fin set up in the CI avg joe. Machado keel and rusty quad rear. One would think its too much fin, but its so fun. I think it has a lot to do with the keels having a lot of flex.

    Album Surfboards

    I scored a beautiful 6'8 XTR moonstone! And its grey not purple! The seller sold it with the CC keels and said those worked well. any recommendations? I think ill keep it on ice until we get some HH+ waves.

    WTB: Mr. Buzz

    I dropped by to grab some wax and check out the board. It did not feel like a board I would be able to ride at 190lbs. Rails are pretty foiled. It felt like a grom board under my arm. Great condition though.

    Tomo Evo XTR 5'5 - $500

    I bumped up to ~195lbs and the 31 L in soft cbad mush was a challenge. The buyer was stoked. The GMM2 you sold me is a keeper! So fun as a thruster or MR twin/trailer.

    Tomo Evo XTR 5'5 - $500

    5’5 x 19 5/8 x 2.5 x 31 L XTR stringerless. I bought this from @oeste858 a few months back, and have since put a new pad on it. Its sadly a little small for me (6'1 190lb). I can meet anywhere along the 5 in between delmar and carlsbad.

    Tim Stamps - Shaper of the Year

    A photographer was at my local yesterday, I was able to grab a clip from an IG post. I posted the clip below of me doing a little backside cut back on the stamps banjo with the AMKs. I am really enjoying that set up. I am going to add this clip to my sponsor me reel...

    Tim Stamps - Shaper of the Year

    In hindsight, I think the flex was my only problem with those fins. The flex of the AMK is more forgiving. I wonder how the thickness of the fins plays into it too. The g10 fins are paper thin, whereas the AMKs are pretty thick.

    Tim Stamps - Shaper of the Year

    I ended up trying out the AMKs in my banjo this morning. I loved it. More drivey, held through the last 10% of a turn better, and yet was still easier to throw up into the lip. I think the flex plays into that too. The NVS stamps fins are pretty stiff. Ill give the BMTs a chance, but after...

    Tim Stamps - Shaper of the Year

    Has anyone tried the banjo with AMKs? Ive been riding mine with the stamps keel in size medium and I love it in mushy surf, but have struggled with the more bowly sections. I imagine the AMKs would allow for tighter arcs...

    Tim Stamps - Shaper of the Year

    Ive had a few rocket wides and decided it was not a great groveler for me. It was pretty fun in bowly conditions, but I couldnt get it to work in softer waves. I briefly had a disco cheater and it felt like it had too much rocker in the tail for where I surf so I quickly sold it. Ive never...
